Bear in mind the cleaning upkeep for your selected ceiling fan when making your decision. I cring at the thought of how much dust the beautiful Monaco would collect. :-) Apartment Therapy DC | Ceiling Fans With Style |

The delicious smells wake up me up every time I try this! So I use an inexpensive timer to start/stop the slow cooker using only frozen foods. Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Fall Cooking: Using the Slow-Cooker Overnight |

I use my standard shower rod plus two extra adjustable (tension type) shower rods in my bathroom to dry clothes overnight. For heavy items, I put in small fan on the vanity overnight to increase air circulation. When the clothes are dry, the shower rods store easily in the corner of the closet out of the way.

Maybe a Dark Navy trim? It hard to tell about the walls because there the white walls (I think they are white anyway) could have the pinker tones in it so you may still have a problem. I would also try different lighting/lightbulbs perhaps even before repainting anything. Apartment Therapy New York | NY Good Questions: Paint Color Options for My Purple Room? |

I would think about doing something with the window coverings. I think the contrast between the valance and the wood of the fire place (especially the height differences) is what may be making it look more out-of-place for you. Congrats on your new home!

I've always used a teaspoon to remove hand odors and that eliminates the hazards of the fork or knife! @Rosebud -- I never thought about using the faucet -- GREAT IDEA! Apartment Therapy The Kitchn | Help! Getting Rid of Lingering Food Smells |

I would look at utilizing the closet space with shelving and/or in-closet storage unit of some sort before I would take up floor space with a chest of drawers. It looks like there might be some space for a wall rack or similar to the left of toilet (measure the space, then shop.) I have an area rug over my light beige wall-to-wall rental carpet and it works fine. You will probably need to get a sticky pad (sold with the area rugs) to prevent "crawl." Watch the rug placement and try to cover the light carpet in the high traffic or frequent sitting spots. Any change your dining table and desk needs could be served by one well chosen piece? I would give some thought to two armchairs or a love seat or some combination thereof vs. a sofa. It looks like a great space. I have a question -- What is a "soft loft?"

I second the warm sudsy water and terry/microfiber cloth. If that doesn't work you might try warming it with the blow dryer to "melt" the adhesive that is under that paper. Apartment Therapy Chicago | CHI Good Questions: How to Remove this Gunk? |

I have two extra adjustable-tension shower curtain rods from where I moved before. I just put them up in the bathroom, turn on a small fan and use them as drying racks. When the laundry is dry, they store vertically in my utility closet easily. Apartment Therapy New York | Best Product: Retractable Indoor Clotheslines |

I occasionally use my washcloths for a quick clean-up but generally my "body puff" scrubby has taken the place of the washcloth. In theory, using a washcloth with your cleansing product gets you cleaner than just the soap alone. I usually keep a stack of washcloths in a basket to use as individual "hand towels" so everyone isn't using everyone else's germy handtowel (and it reduces the laundry space hand towels take up).

I use my microfibers for most everything from washing dishes to cleaning. I toss them in with the washcloths and although they do stick to the terry, I just peel them off and fold. There doesn't seem to be any decrease in effectiveness. Great for catching the cat hair, dust, etc. IMO. Apartment Therapy New York | Good Questions: How Can I Remove This Residue? |

I would also give the egg cartons a thorough cleaning before putting the eggs back in to dry or present. Just in case... Apartment Therapy The Kitchen | Spring Treat: How To Make Golden Chocolate Easter Eggs |
